You've all had some very interesting answers for my last post so here is a question for you, how do you think about copyright in general and should it exist?

I don’t think heritage should exist.

It would solve so many problems.

So, if you live in your parents' house and they die, you should be thrown at the street and all properties and assets should go to the state?

If you're 59 years old, maybe you should have planned ahead a bit.

Also, nothing stops them helping you get a good start.

If I lived in my parents house Today and they died, first of all I'd have to share the heritage with 3 other siblings, so no the house isn't magically mine, then again, that country isn't some savage country and I would not be "thrown" out in the streets to live in the gutter.

Otherwise yes, why shall a 59 yo have the right to hoard that wealth? Why shouldn't there be at least a very strong incentive to spread that wealth to their say 20 yo kids instead?

Do you know how inheritance works?
